Utica Rescue Effort Helped by Fermilab Employees Electrical Engineering Division technician Mike Cherry was at his part-year residence in a yacht club near Utica, IL when the tornado hit on April 20.
"All other ways into the town were blocked, so the county sheriff and I were in charge of the emergency route in and out of Utica," said Cherry. Ryan Lambert, a member of the Fermilab and North Aurora Fire Departments, was eating dinner with his family when he was paged to go to Utica with the Division 13 Technical Rescue Team. About 35 members of the team,
"It was a physically and emotionally straining day," said Lambert, "but
from the time we got there to the time we left, the community really
came together. These people had just had everything ripped away, but
they were coming up and offering us food and water and asking if
there was anything else we wanted."

So Long, Dwaine Foster
"In Warehouse 2, I dealt with excess materials--computers and components," said Foster. "We'd reuse materials that the lab bought, rather than just throwing them away. We'd get the maximum use out of them; some items were turned over three, four or five times."
Foster, originally from New Albany, Mississippi, moved to Aurora
in 1959. After a very brief stint at a car dealership, he worked
for Austin Westin and Caterpillar before arriving at Fermilab.
He plans to spend his retirement years in Mississippi in a
house with enough land for vegetable gardening, and looks
forward to spending more time doing lay ministry for the Baptist Church.

FYI: AIP Bulletin of Science Policy News, May 27, 2004 Recommendations for Strengthening the U.S. Innovation Infrastructure "Unfortunately, the U.S.'s ability to adapt, compete and innovate alongside emerging workforces in countries such as China and India is threatened by a systematically weak education system, a dearth of R&D funding, visa policy that discourages the brightest foreign minds and a business climate heavy with regulatory and tax burdens." This is the conclusion of a new report by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), an alliance of approximately 2,500 electronic and high-tech companies and associations. "The best hope for the U.S. to maintain its edge against rising global competition is by fostering and expanding our most prized intellectual asset: innovation," the report says. "If we want to ensure that successive waves of innovation begin in the U.S., and that U.S. workers are first to benefit from ‘the next big things,' we have to have the necessary innovation infrastructure in place." read more |
Good Morning!
We look forward to another very good year for the Fermilab accelerators. We will add a powerful new instrument to the world's investigation of neutrinos when the MINOS experiment starts operation early in 2005. The collider program will also get another boost as the Recycler is integrated into operation.
Thanks to all of the people, both Fermilab staff and users, who have
contributed to the recent successes. We all look forward to the exciting
physics ahead.

Updating the Fermilab Phonebook Last week, Fermilab Today requested all Fermilab employees to update their information in the phone directory using an online form. Please disregard this request. Business Services will mail a paper copy of a form to all Fermilab employees in June. We regret any confusion. |
